John Dorsey would be an amazing hire.
I don't think people realize just how good his resume is. He was with the Packers for 20 years, and his real reign there really started in 1997, when he took over as Director of Scouting, and later as Director of Football operations. This produced an incredibly impressive 13 years.
Aaron Rodgers, Greg Jennings, Donald Driver, AJ Hawk, Clay Matthews, Charles Woodson, ect. His fingerprints all over that team. They made the playoffs at an atonishing rate during his tenure, and obvioulsy he's got a Superbowl Ring as well.
Then he goes to the Chiefs, where assumes the GM role. Mahomes, Tyreek Hill, Travis Kelce, the foundation of their team, were all brought in under his watch.
Then he goes goes to the Browns. Everywhere he else he had been they had won. Well over .500. This is where people question his resume, which I think is unfair.
The Browns had records of 3-13, 1-15, and 0-16 prior to him taking over. That's got to be one of the worst 3 year stretches of any professional franchise.
He gets them 7-8-1 their very first season. They go 6-10 in his 2nd season. Now they're 4-1 the year after he left. Now, no one can say these are great results on their own. But when you considered what he inherited, I think most can admit that this was still an accomplishment.
Dorsey is just sitting out there for the taking. Maybe there are better candidates out there, but I have to believe he could be a realistic option for a franchise like ours, given the circumstances.
I guarantee John Dorsey can build a better team than Katie and Troy Blackburn, so I don't know why anyone wouldn't be estatic with a hiring like this.
